COLLEGE GHOST
(Cofttinttea Jrom, page tioo)
I'elttsed to sell hcv lioiiie to tlie
college.
When the old lady died, the
house went to a Mi’s. Jones, who
had a young daughtei* named
Simnne. One night at “blind
man’s holiday” (as people called
it then) the little girl was lying
in bed, because of some illness,
and waiting for her mother to
turn oil the lights. As she
watched the shadows growing
and filling the room, a little
lady all dressed in brown came
in and stood beside her bed,
looking down on her in silence.
The next instant she was gone.
Suzanne called her mother to
ask who her visitor had been,
but her mother knew of no
visitor. At first she would not
believe that Suzanne w’as really
aAvake. But the little girl was
so sure and remembered so
thoroughly all the details of the
little lady’s appearance that the
mother became convinced. One
doesn’t see a very vivid picture
in a dream, you know. Its al
ways; dim and ha/-y, and it al
ways fades away as soon as one
awakes. The little “brown”
lady, she is called because her
dress was brown and she wore a
brown cloak and hood. Ony
version of the stovy says that
the mother saw the ghost-lady,
also, and that she and her
daughter were impressed by the
“sweet and l>eautiful though
tired and sad face of the ghost-
lady.”
After making her first public
appearance, the ghost appeared
to a faculty membei*, Miss Helen
Day. Though it is not definite
ly known, Miss Day must have
made friends with the little lady
at once; for after appearing to
her one night while she was
studying, she came back many
times, other people saw her
once or twice, but Miss Day saw
her nearly every night. Siie
Avas seen early in the morning
once by one of tUe girls. The
girl had spent the night in
another dormitory and was re*
turning home early in the morn
ing when she saw the lady in
brown smelling a rose on a bnsh
near East Building. As usual,
though, the ghost-lady melted
away as soon as she was seen.
Twilight was her favorite time
of day, it seems, and early
morning came next; but, like
all spirits who vanish at the
crowing of the cock or the first
ray of sun, she never appeared
in tlie light of day- Miss Helen
Day lived with her sister, Sliss
Harriet; and, although, to quote
Miss Poteat, “the little brown
lady and Miss Helen became
great cronies,” Miss Hai*riet
never admitted that she had seen
her. Apparently the ghost
sought a kindred spirit who be
lieved in the existence of ghosts
and who was in sympathy with
the wandering (or haunting—
SENIORS WIN LOVING CUP
IN ANNUAL STUNT NIGHT

X’arser, Kuth Starling, Tempie
Ricks, and Margaret Dodd.
The choruses wiiich added to
the attractiveness of the stunt
were: Book Agents; “Nina,
Finta, and Santa Marie;
Penguins; Polar Valley Forge;
and Polar Stars and Stripes.
Uuth Philips had charge of the
music and accompaniments.
“0 Green,” the Junior Stunt
written by Evelyn Squires, was
next on the progx*ani. The Scene
was laid in a JIuseum in Wer-
teiiburg where Helen Woody, a
guide, was showing a Tourist,
played by Elizabeth Stivens, a
lovely deep sea picture of two
lovers who had b^n drowned.
This picture was painted as, the
Artist would have liked things
to happen. The two lovers Daisy
Cannon, who saw green because
of jealousy, played skillfully by
Prue Choate and Charles
Parker, the dashing lover,
I)layed by Tx>ttie Btellc Myers,
encountered many interesting
experiences ajnong the mei--
malds and shells. One of the
mermaids even succeeded in
vamping the hero but not for
long, since as most plays end—
the hero and heroine at last
t'onnd happiness.
Tlie Sophomores gave “Keno
Kon^eo." A very liumorous play
in which the main characters
were three old maids who de
cided to go to lieno In search
of a “Komeo” they saw in
movie magazine. Those old
maid parts were handled well by
three sophomore B's—Briggs
Brady, and Bdggs.
“Pat” Abernethy who took
the part of Ramon Courtney,
was a perfect lover. Bessie Lee
liogera played opposite “Pal”
equally well. The other charac
ters were Roberta Selby, who
played the part of the maid;
Martha Viccellio, the clerk;
Pauline Barner, Mrs. Sinclair;
Nancy McDaniel, Mrs. Alger
non Worthingham; and Sallie
Council, Mr. William l*'ormie
Duval. There were also
Tenuis and maids chorus.
“Shouldn’t we like to know”
the Freshman stunt which won
second lionor was indeed vciry
clever. TJie scenes varied—frcmi
a group of State College
boys on a train to a college bed-

for so gentle a lady) of a home
sick old lady. It seems too bad

•oom, and finally an Egyptian
fortune teller studio.
Mac and a group of State Col
lege boj’s are first seen discuss
ing how they can find out
w’hether their girls love them or
not. They find out this and
other things when rlisgnised as
Egyptians they open a, fortune
teller’s studio to which their girl
friends come for information.
The music, incense, brilliant
costumes, and lighting effects
went to make the last scene one
of the most interesting of tlie
evening. .
The members of the cast were
Alice Stratton, Grace Carr,
Emily Miller, Carnette Ship
man, Evelyn Basker, Nell
Griffin, Martha Davis, Lillian
Dell Jenkins, Sledge Ricks,
Frances McNeill, Virginia
Garnett and Eliza Briggs.
There were also choruses of
pjgyptian girls, and waiters. An
orchestra led by Marguerite
Warren gave a selection.
Between the Junior and
Sophomore stunt Bruce Gore
presented Dorothy Rowland,
last year's Athletic Association
president with a. silver Trophy
statuette for scholarship, college
spirt, sportsmanship and ath
letic ability. This came as a com
plete surprise to the entire
student body the members of the
athletic board being the only
ones to know about it. She also
announced at this time that next
spring lionor sweaters Avould be
aAvui'ded to the three best all
round athletes of the school.

any time tiierc was anything
going on. She is the ideal
atlilete, embodying the same
qualities for which the sweaters
will be awarded.
